<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Although some of the lands on the original tract has been sold, Linden Manor house still stands on 204 acres. It is surrounded on three sides by forestry and is located 335 yards from USA Hwy 17. Because of the isolation, the house and its immediate surroundings have retained the integrity of a nineteenth-century farm. The Manor house is the only remaining nineteenth-century building on the site, however, several outbuilding foundations, including a possible smokehouse and kitchen, have been found, in addition to a small, private cemetery. Much of the woodwork dates to the early years of the house, including four carved Greek-style mantels and the pine floors on the first and second stories. The house is a remarkable and little-altered example of nineteenth-century Federal-style architecture and incorporates some of the finest brickwork in Essex County</p><br>

<h3>Linden&#39;s grounds</h3><br>
<p>As stories are told, this magnificent estate was likely named ‘Linden’ in the early nineteenth century because ‘Linden’ trees grew on the property. ‘Linden’ trees are celebrated in numerous ethnic, religious, legal, and cultural affiliations, renowned poetry and mythical mysteries are published and shared, but the symbolic representation of the ‘Linden’ tree remains the same throughout: ‘Justice, Truth, Peace, Love, Prosperity, Friendship, Tenderness, Affection, Good Luck, and Fidelity’.</p><br>
<p>With whispers of these profoundly important symbols from the century-old trees, we stop, and we listen to the soothing peacefulness of the estate. Small, pea rock gravel crunch crunches on the long, scenic driveway, and a quiet calmness floats from the grain fields to surround you and your guests with natural harmony. Casually meander the grounds as green grass tickles your barefoot toes or regally repose sparkling diamonds in early 19th-century architecture and antiquities. Celebrate, create new beginnings, Linden style</p><br>

<p>The A.E. Larson Building is a prominent Art Deco office building in Yakima, Washington, built in 1931. When it was built the eleven-story brick structure was by far the tallest building in Yakima, an otherwise low-lying town, and remains the tallest building in Yakima to this day. It was built by entrepreneur Adelbert E. Larson and designed by local architect John W. Maloney.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The A.E. Larson Building is 188 ft tall to the top of its flagpole, and is 130 ft by 65 ft in plan. It is eleven stories tall, with retail shops on the ground floor, together with the main lobby. The building is clad in salmon-colored brick and terra cotta. The ground level is faced with stone with Art Deco bronze accents. The building rises straight from this base to the tenth floor, where it steps back, with deeper setbacks on the eleventh floor. The lobby is richly detailed in stone and bronze, with elaborate bronze surrounds at the three elevator entrances. The building&#39;s original windows are a unique vertically-hinged steel casement that allows cleaning from inside.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Adelbert E. Larson was born in Minnesota, arriving in Washington in 1884, where he worked in lumber camps. He came to Yakima in 1891 to buy a lumberyard. A successful businessman, he bought real estate, involved himself in politics and promoted local business. Despite the Great Depression, Larson committed $600,000 of his own funds to build the A.E. Larson Building in 1931, benefiting from reduced construction costs. He hired John W. Maloney, a Yakima architect, to design his building, and the Hans Pederson Construction Company to build it. The new tower replaced a bank building on the site. Larson died in 1934, and Maloney moved to Seattle in 1946.</p><br>
<p>The A.E. Larson Building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 11, 1984.</p><br>
<p>Despite Larsons certainty the economic prospects of Yakima were bright and his goal of the building ushering in a new, cosmopolitan age for the city, unlike the comparably grand art deco Northern Life Tower in Seattle which has since been surrounded by larger skyscrapers, slower economic growth in Yakima County means the Larson Building continues to stand mostly alone in Yakimas skyline.</p><br>

As Delaplane prospered, the previously prosperous town of Paris on the Dumfries-Winchester Road (Virginia Route 17) lagged. The town&#39;s name was changed in 1874 to honor its postmaster and owner of the general store, Washington E. Delaplane.</p><br>

It has been deemed notable for association with former USA Ambassador Llewellyn Thompson , Ken Curtis , and author James Michener’s wife, Mari  Michener, all of whom attended the school, as well as for "its imposing, three-story, massive-columned architecture". It was designed by Swedish architect James Larson. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places  in 2010.</p><br>
<p>The NRHP listing includes what has also been known as Las Animas Middle School and as Las Animas Junior High School. The property includes Classical Revival, and Moderne architecture. The listing includes two contributing buildings. Both Walter Dubree and James Larson are architects identified with the project.</p><br>
<p>The property was identified by Colorado Preservation, Inc., in 2004 as being one of the most endangered historic places in the state. As of October, 2009, the school building had then been empty for 10 years but was in good condition. Plans were then being discussed by the school board to renovate and re-use part of the property, the Works Progress Administration addition to the building, but in that plan the 1914 Classical Revival portion was slated for demolition. In 2013 the posted status for the site was "Alert".</p><br>
<p>The original classic revival-styled high school, built in 1914, was designed by La Junta architect Walter Dubree. It was expanded by an addition in 1939, funded by Works Progress Administration and Public Works Administration grants.

It was rural itself and at one point served 50 to 60 students in grades 1-10. It served until the 1960s when busing students to a larger school in Clayton became feasible. It was named for Felix Emmett Goodson, the county commissioner who achieved construction of the school, who was also a rancher; he managed Roberts Ranch, located just to the northeast of the school site; his wife Stella Goodson was a teacher at one of the schools consolidated. The school became a local community center; the community came to be called Goodson; the school was last used for voting in 1962 and has since been empty.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>1886 Bent County decided that a court house must be built, and in 1887 James Jones a resident of the county sold his plot of land. The land was sold for a dollar under a condition that the land would be used for the Bent County Courthouse. The Holmberg Brothers architectural firm made the plans for the Bent County Courthouse and on July 4th 1887 construction began. The original courthouse burned down January 10th 1888 and was restored the next year. The new building that stands today is a two story red brick building with an elevated basement. Built in a Victorian style with the addition of Romanesque arches the Courthouse is symmetrical with reassessed bays but is missing its original iron cresting. The Courthouse also features rough sandstone blocks that add a beige trim. The building was furnished with antique oak furniture and opened March 12th 1889. 23 years later Bent County added a jail next to the court house. Similar to the Courthouse the Jail was a two story red brick structure however built in a Classical Revival style. By the 1990s the Jail no longer met federal standards and closed in 2000. The Bent County Courthouse is now the longest standing and functional Courthouse in Colorado.</p><br>
